She was just sixteen She was so sweet and clean She walked just like she knew where she'd been She set my blood on fire I said are you for hire? That's when she turned on me and screamed That ain't no way to treat a lady That ain't no way to treat a lady She had a southern smile Had a New York style I couldn't let her get away She was the girl of my dreams And because I was mean I had to listen to her say That ain't no way to treat a lady That ain't no way to treat a lady I had to have her bad But she left me mad That ain't the way it should be I'm going to find that girl Take her around the world I'm going to love her till she screams That ain't no way to treat a lady That ain't no way to treat a lady That ain't no way That ain't no way to treat a lady A lady That ain't no way to treat a lady To treat a lady To treat a lady To treat a lady
